Camera

This is a no-brainer. Unless your phone is spectacular, you should bring a powerful and sturdy camera. The photos you’re going to take should last a lifetime and more.

Boots

You don’t want to visit the GC in sneakers. Make sure your boots are comfortable and not the kind you’d mind getting dirty. This is nature, not a fashion show.

Jacket or Hoodie

It can get chilly by the Canyon, so pack accordingly. Don’t be left in the cold, properly prepare for windy weather.

Backpack

Want to hold all your belongings? Bring a backpack to store everything in. Problem solved.

Water

Don’t assume there will be water fountains everywhere, make sure to keep yourself hydrated properly.

Snacks

They call it trail mix for a reason. All that walking will make you hungry, pack snacks and your stomach will thank you.
